A bit late answer and off topic... but anyway :)
X-COM Collectors Edition works fine on my computer (Win XP on an AMD XP2000+ with a cheap radeon card) without any fixes what so ever except cpu-slower ;). In fact the fixes caused the problems they were supposed to avoid.


I use UFO and TFTD off the Collectors Edition on my Athlon XP2600 desktop and 2500 laptop running XP Home (Radeon in both).  I do get the occasional crash on UFO (rare).  Also, there's no need for any "slow-mo" prgram if you set the prefernces in the game right (there are speed controls for scolling, movement and firing - turn them all down).  What I like best is that both of these games do a full install on the PC (the older CD version still required the CD) so I can slaughter a few aliens on my laptop while I travel.

I'd love to see an updated version of this game (and I don't mean a Quake type shooter - just nicer graphics at a higher resolution, different faces on the soldiers, animation while they're waiting for orders (twitching, scratching, looking around), etc).
